GeekWire Podcast: Digital tipping point for Post Office

How many of you still send or receive letters and bills in the mail on a regular basis? This week on the GeekWire radio show and podcast, we explore the larger trends that are leading the U.S. Postal Service to end Saturday delivery of first-class mail, and get a sense for how the shift to a paperless society is surpassing and, in some cases, falling short of expectations.

Our guest in the studio is Steve Shivers, co-founder and CEO of doxo, a Seattle startup that offers a digital file cabinet for keeping records, paying bills and interacting with utilities and other service providers. We talk about the growth of digital bill-paying and communications, but also explore the areas where paper billing is still sticking around.
